Question

Yolk Sac but no Baby?

Share

Accoding to my LMP I should be 6wks 2days pregnant. Over the weekend I started spotting, I saw my doctor yesterday (Monday) and had an ultrasound done. He then said I was about 5.5 weeks we saw a "healthy" yolk sack, but no baby? He assured me it's because I'm too early along and scheduled another ultrasound in two weeks. This is our first baby, and I had a miscarriage four months ago, so I'm terrified. I'm afraid to go to my appt. and there won't be a baby. Has this happened to anyone else?

I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but I went in at a little over 5 weeks (was cramping), and they could only see an empty sac. I went back at 7 weeks, and there was a heartbeat. We now have a 7 month old boy. I was completely terrified and bawled everyday that we had to wait, so I know how you feel. I'm so sorry about your miscarriage, and I'm sure it's adding to your fears 100x. Best wishes. Prayers for you.
